Biofortification mainly involves

• A. Conventional breeding
• B. Electroporation
• C. Microinjection
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Biofortification is the method in which the food is added or supplemented with the required nutrients. It is a process of breeding crops with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fat content. This can be done either through selective breeding or genetic modifications. The genetic modifications can be performed by transfer of the gene through microprojectile and electroporation methods. This method is employed to improve public health.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
